5 John F Kennedy quotes that will inspire

Choice quotes from the iconic Irish American President taken from his rousing public speeches

Irish American President John F Kennedy is an icon of inspiration. The young Catholic president, assassinated at the age of 46, is probably remembered most for his amazing gift of speech-making.
